eading to acute blindness. Ethanol is the antidote for methanol poisoning because ethanol is preferentially processed by the body. Ethanol is most likely to be a(n):A. allosteric inhibitor.B. competitive inhibitor.C. noncompetitive inhibitor.D. irreversible inhibitor.

Answer:

Ethanol is most likely to be a (B), competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

The poisoing occurs because of the harmful metabolites produced by the alcohol dehydrogenases, enzymes in charge of breaking down alcohol.

Hence, the most likely strategy of an antidote is to compete for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the methanol convertion to harmful chemicals.

Ethanol does not produce these metabolites and it is preferentially proccessed by the body, so it is a competitive inhibitor, competing for the active site.

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
Serga [27]

Answer:

A.) The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is  stored in the bonds of glucose.

Explanation:

Statement A. best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy because this is exactly what the plant does during the process. Plants and some types of bacteria absorb light from the Sun and use it with water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to create chemical energy. This energy is then stored in glucose and other molecules. Animals that consume plants will receive this energy.

Hope this helps you :)

What may cause a tsunami?
OlgaM077 [116]

The answer is underwater eathquakes.

Earthquakes are a shaking of the ground that when observed on earth, can cause many damages mainly on hills and mountainsides causing avalanches. When they occur underwater though, the water gets lifted (normally from the sea) and generates giant waves that can sometimes reach the coast.


Hope it helped,
